Chapter Eighteen



Knock, Knock

It was now 6:30 and the guys were ready and at Nicole's house, where they agreed to meet.

"COMING!!!" yelled Nancy.

She swung open the door and saw all three guys dressed up in black tuxedos.

"Awww," with that she took a picture. "Come on in, the girls will be down in a minute,"

"Ok," answered Taylor. They all sat down on the couch each holding a corsage for the girls.

"We're ready!!" yelled Paige, after about 5 minutes.

They all stood up and watched as Nancy walked down the stairs.

Paige started walking down after Nancy. Her gown was short and purple. It had no sleeves, and had velvet material. Her hair was done in a french braid, and her make up was done very lightly. She started to smile when Zac slipped the corsage over her hand.

"You are so beautiful," Zac whispered in her ear.

She giggled. "Thank you,"

"Here comes Lindsey," announced Isaac.

Her gown was pink. It looked exactly like Nicoles, only it was pink and had sequence all over. Her make up was also done lightly. And her hair was let down and had curls in it.

Taylor was speechless.

She laughed, "Aren't you going to put the corsage on??"

He snapped out of his trance and slipped it on. After that he kissed her. "Why do you have to look so gorgeous??"

She shrugged, "I dunno,"

They laughed.

"It's the birthday girl!!" exclaimed Zac, once Nicole started to walk down the stairs.

Ike turned around and made eye contact with Nicole. She smiled, according to Isaac, the most gorgeous smile. Her hair was done in a french twist and like Lindsey and Paige her make up was done lightly.

Once she approached Isaac, he took her hands into his.

"I want this night to be the most memorable night," he whispered.

She smiled once more and they gently kissed each other a gentle kiss. They pulled apart and looked at the other couples.

"Well ready to go??" asked Isaac.

"Yeah, let's blow this popsicle stand," exclaimed Zac, grabbing Paige's hand.

*******

"So kids, how are liking the dinner??" asked Walker.

"This is great, Mr. Hanson. Thank you for letting us come," answered Nicole.

"Hey, it's not a problem," informed Diana.

"Can I be excused?? I have a little business to take care of," announced Isaac.

"Sure," answered Walker.

"I wonder what he's up to," said Zac.

They all shrugged and continued to talk to each other.

About 5 minutes after Isaac left, they heard someone come over the microphone on the stage.

"This is for all you lovers out there. This song is dedicated to Nicole Hopkins," after the guy left the stage, the sound of someone playing the piano, filled the large room.

Nicole kept her eyes locked on the stage.

Then right as the person started to sing, the curtain began to rise. Once the curtain was secure up above, Nicole realized who it was. Isaac Hanson. People started to dance on the dance floor that was provided as the soft gentle words came from the teenager up on stage.

"I love you more than anything, than anything I do. And I give anything, and everything I have, just to be with you. These feelings I hold inside. Are emmotions I cannot hide. These feelings will not subside I give anything...." Isaac continued to play the piano and sing. "I'd do things that can't be done. I'd fly to the moon and then around the sun. If you'll just say that I'm the one I'd do anything,"

Tears began to form in her eyes. Then she got up and began to walk towards the stage. He saw her and his eyes followed her as she began to walk up the stage steps.

"You know I'd do anything for you. I love you more than anything. Yeah. Yeah. More than anything," with that he finished the song. He looked up at Nicole, who was standing right next to him. He stood up and took her hand in one of his, and occupied his other with wiping the tears from her eyes. "I love you, Nicole,"

Nicole didn't say anything. But everything came flooding back. On how he was always there for her, how he was the one she always talked to, how he always gave her advice, how he made her laugh. Just everything he's done for her made her realize, that she loved him too.

She nodded "I love you, too,"

He wrapped his arms around her waist brought her closer to him and hugged her tight. She kissed him on the cheek and turned to face the crowd. They were all clapping. This made Nicole laugh. Isaac took Nicole's hand and walked back towards the table.
